Opinel Knifes

[prime77]

Wow what great knives these are. I got one a couple days ago and can't put it down. There is just something about these simple knives that draws you to them.

Yeah there pretty cool aren't they

There one of those rare item's where cheap, really  is cheerful

I bought two of those back in 1981 when I was over there in the Navy.  I lost one but think I know where the other is.  All this talk got me to remembering some good times (before good knives were illegal over there).

I had a number one, and trust me you have more than enough issues with wounds from 58mm sak's

Cool shot Neil. Does any one have a shot of a 8, 9, 10 together. Also what numbers lock closed as well as open. My 8 only locks open. Is the locking closed feature something new?

[Neil]

Can't help with the locking closed, sorry.

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

Neil's got time on his hand's again

Old shot actually    I haven't got them anymore.  They were a job lot purchase from a b&m store that went under.

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

I really fancy getting another one now

Maybe one of there safety knife jobbies

New-ish I think.  My oldest Opi doesn't have the lock closed ring and that's about 10-12 years old.  My newer one (about 3-4 years old) does, so sometime in that period I suspect.  AFIAK it was brought in for all sizes.

Odd, I was under the impression that it was sizes six or seven and up that locked?
